Using Amniotic Membrane for Wound Healing in Horses
Researchers have discovered a way to make equine amniotic membrane, a treatment option for wound healing, more accessible. One of the realities of managing horses is how frequently they sustain wounds, lacerations, and other injuries. While their sleek limbs afford...
Heat stress in dairy cows housed in confinement systems
Lactating cows experience heat stress, particularly during peak milk production, and dry cows experience heat stress particularly during the transition period. To minimise the impact of heat stress in dairy cows, confinement systems have emerged as an alternative to...
Effect of low incubation temperature and low ambient temperature
In past decades, a large improvement in poultry production has been made due to genetic selection breeding fast-growing broilers strains. These advances in chicken growth rate were not associated with a parallel development of the respiratory, metabolic, and locomotor...
Respiratory Molecules Could Lead to Customized Equine Asthma Treatments
Not all equine asthma cases are the same. In fact, they can vary considerably depending on which molecules are involved. This can change the way veterinarians pinpoint treatments to address the action of those molecules, according to veterinary researchers. One...
